The Volokh Conspiracy - Sunday Song Lyric Index & Hiatus:

Love them or hate them, the Sunday Song Lyric is going on a summer hiatus. Barring some profound inspiration -- or something really topical -- I don't expect to post more SSLs until some time in August. Below the jump, however, is an index of all the SSL posts since January 2007. The listing of earlier SSLs can be found here and here. As always, recommendations are welcome, but I doubt I'll post (m)any in the next few months.
